Can stacked cables replace optical modules
There are differences in functions and transmission methods between stacking cables and ordinary optical fibers, so stacking cables cannot directly replace ordinary optical fibers. An optical module is a photoelectric conversion device that can convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission. Therefore, stacked lines are not optical modules. Which cables to choose depends on the stacking types of the switches, how far your switches are, your budget and other elements. A list of supported SFP adapters is available in the CBS datasheets.

Main Processes of Optical Modules
They mainly consist of optoelectronic components (such as optical transmitters and receivers), functional circuits, and optical interfaces, aiming to achieve the functionalities of optical-to-electrical and electrical-to-optical signal conversion in optical fiber communication. The Transmitter Optical Sub Assembly (TOSA) is responsible for the emission of light. Its primary function entails converting electrical signals into optical signals. Operating at the physical layer of the OSI model, optical modules are core devices in optical. An optical module is a typically hot-pluggable optical transceiver used in high-bandwidth data communications applications.
